Beautiful day in southern Colombo - We had a great, eventful day and were lucky to experience the Buddha festival first hand. But also otherwise, the stations of the tour such as the turtle breeding station and the ride with the mangrove boat are a real highlight. Due to the traffic on this day, unfortunately, there was only little time in Galle, but the experiences and impressions on the way more than compensated for this. We would also like to thank our driver Akila, who managed to bring us back in time enough with his effort despite the chaotic traffic situation on the way back. We can recommend the tour in good conscience.

Stressful day in colombo - The driver arrived 1 hour late. We were not picked up at the ship as agreed. We had to pay ten euros from the ship to the driver. On the return trip we had to pay ten euros from the driver to the ship. Did not drive to the sights as discussed and wanted to ask for tips.
